Joe Biden held a campaign rally in Sarasota Wednesday morning and then went to Ocala.

Biden spoke to a crowd of 2,500 people who turned out at Tuscawilla Park in Ocala.

Marion County historically leans Republican but with the latest polls showing the state split right down the middle every vote is worth fighting for.

"Ladies and gentlemen with you we can win. We win Florida. We can win this election so stand with us," said Biden.

Biden was aggressive criticizing Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan's policies as well as their performances during the debates. He even did a brief impersonation of Romney

"All of the sudden I found out his new best buddy is Putin, 'We can work with Russia. We're very close to Russia,'" Biden said.

Biden told the crowd that he and the president will fight harder for equal opportunities for women and fair taxation. He also told the crowd how much better off it would be under the affordable care act and claimed Romney's plans will devastate Medicare.

"It will cost seniors 10s of thousands of dollars more. If you're 55 and you go on it they estimate $60,000 more for your Medicare. If your 45 years old, $125,000 more. Ladies and gentleman this is sham," said Biden. .

When the rally ended, there were a half dozen buses lined up to take people who hadn't voted yet to the elections offices so they could vote early.

Romney was also in Florida Wednesday. He traveled to Tampa with former Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio. He also went to Coral Gables and Jacksonville.
